PRAYER FOR SEAFARERS,(By Saint Augustine.)

Frail is our vessel,
and the ocean is wide;
but as in your mercy You have set our course,
so steer the vessel of our life
towards the everlasting shore of peace,
and bring us at length to the quiet haven of our heart's desire,
where You, 0 God, are blessed,
and live and reign for ever and ever.
Amen.
